Instead of SYSPRO

Stop subscribing to SYSPRO. Own the system that runs your jobs.

Enterprise DNA builds your version around the way your workshop estimates, makes and bills, brings your SYSPRO records across, and runs it for you. You keep the database and shape the system around the work.

SYSPRO does not publish a subscription price. Buyers are sent to a tailored demo and a private conversation, and access is now sold under a named-user subscription.

What changed at SYSPRO

The old licence ended. The whole platform is now a named-user subscription

SYSPRO now includes its full module entitlement under the subscription. That is a broad manufacturing and distribution platform when a smaller workshop may spend most of its day on works orders, materials, hours, stock and job cost.

badge

Access tied to named users

SYSPRO's new model is a named-user subscription. The people who need access are part of the commercial conversation, even when they only touch one part of a job.

request_quote

A price kept behind the sales process

There is no public price list. The website asks for your operation, priorities and contact details before the commercial proposal arrives.

apps

The full module entitlement

The subscription now carries the full SYSPRO module entitlement. A job shop can still spend nearly all its time in estimates, jobs, WIP, stock and purchasing.

handshake

A partner around the platform

SYSPRO directs implementation, customisation and ongoing support through its partner network. Your workshop process has to be scoped, configured and supported around the platform.

precision_manufacturing

Factory depth you may not use

Machine data, advanced scheduling, warehouse management, quality and broad financial management are valuable when they are central to the operation, and excess when they are not.

An exit that starts with an export request

SYSPRO says departing customers can request a data export through their account manager. Lists and reports can also leave as spreadsheets, but the fields still have to be mapped into the next system.

Keep the workshop core

Works orders, material and margin without carrying the whole ERP

Orders

Run the promise list, not a module map

Each open job carries the customer, the work, the quoted amount, the promised date and its real progress through the shop.

  • check Quotes and jobs stay in the same database
  • check Late work stays measured against the date the customer was promised
  • check Quiet jobs surface when no hours or material have moved
  • check A job traveller gives the bench the current work in your branding

Material

See the shortage beside the job it will delay

Bills of materials, stock, suppliers and purchase orders meet on the same attention list, with the promised job date beside them.

  • check Required material checked against stock and incoming purchases
  • check Overdue purchase orders name the customer work waiting on them
  • check Low-stock items sit beside their supplier and reorder point
  • check Traceable steel cannot be issued to structural work without its heat number

Cost

Know what every job has consumed

Material issues, labour and outside work build one running cost, so the owner sees WIP and margin from the same records.

  • check Fixed-price work flagged before its cost overtakes the quote
  • check WIP shown as cost in open jobs not yet covered by an invoice
  • check Completed work stays visible until it has been billed
  • check Job and customer margin read from the work actually recorded

Control

Change the system when the workshop changes

The database belongs to the business. New fields, stages, checks and documents follow your process instead of waiting for a product release.

  • check SYSPRO customers, suppliers, stock and jobs brought across and reconciled
  • check Your statuses and costing rules written around the way the floor works
  • check Quotes, travellers, invoices and job-cost reports carry your name
  • check Read-only views for the week, the bottlenecks and the unbilled work

Switching

How to switch from SYSPRO

A move involves exporting your records, mapping SYSPRO fields, testing the import, then checking Job Shop alongside SYSPRO before you end access.

  1. 1

    Export your records

    Ask your SYSPRO account manager about the export process and which records your account allows you to take out. The records to prepare are your customers, suppliers, items and job list. SYSPRO list views can export to Excel, and reports can export to CSV. Confirm with SYSPRO which route fits each record you need.

  2. 2

    Map and load the records

    SYSPRO exports use SYSPRO fields, while the free import expects the Ostendo layout. Map the columns before loading, so each value goes into the right place. Then load the records into Job Shop using its CSV import. If you are not sure how a SYSPRO field should map, settle that before importing live records.

  3. 3

    Test and check the flags

    Run the import's test run before loading live records. Review what it flags, correct any mapping or data issues, then run the import. Pay particular attention to what does not come across: heat numbers, work centre service records and open job costing are deliberately not imported. Check those records against your paperwork and decide how to handle them before relying on the new system.

  4. 4

    Run both side by side

    Use Job Shop alongside SYSPRO for a short period while you check the records and routines your team depends on. Keep SYSPRO as your source of truth until you are satisfied with the new setup. Job Shop covers the job shop core, not all of SYSPRO's broader financial management, factory scheduling, warehouse management, quality or machine data capabilities, so confirm how you will handle any of those needs.

  5. 5

    Switch off SYSPRO

    Once you have checked the imported records and decided how to handle any SYSPRO capabilities you still need, arrange the end of access with your account manager. SYSPRO's licensing notice confirms a right to export your data on cessation. Make sure you have completed the export and kept the records you need before access ends.

Where the real effort goes

The real work is usually mapping your own SYSPRO fields and rules, then deciding how much history to bring across. Heat numbers, work centre services and open job costing need separate attention because they do not import. You may need to check records against paperwork and choose what to recreate or leave behind. When Enterprise DNA runs the setup, it handles the mapping and checks.

Questions

Instead of SYSPRO, answered

Is this a complete replacement for everything in SYSPRO? expand_more

No. It replaces the job-shop core: estimates, jobs, bills of materials, labour, stock, purchasing, job costing, WIP and workshop documents. If you depend on SYSPRO for broad financial management, advanced planning, machine data, warehouse automation or quality management, keep those capabilities or plan their replacement separately.

What changed with SYSPRO licensing? expand_more

SYSPRO has discontinued its Initial License Fee and Annual License Fee model. For customers outside the US, continued access now requires a named-user subscription, which includes the full module entitlement. The price is not published, so your account manager or partner provides it privately.

Can we get our data out of SYSPRO? expand_more

Yes. SYSPRO's licensing notice says you have the right to export your data on cessation and can request the process through your account manager. Its list views export to Excel and its reporting service exports to CSV. Those exports use SYSPRO's own fields, so Enterprise DNA maps and checks them, or you map them in the do-it-yourself route and run a test first.

What replaces factory scheduling, barcodes and shop-floor collection? expand_more

The free version uses a clear work-centre load, printed travellers and straightforward time and material entry.

The new subscription includes every module. Why would we still move? expand_more

More entitlement is useful only when the business uses it. The question is whether your team needs the breadth of a full manufacturing ERP, or whether it mainly needs the job side to fit better, answer sharper questions and stay under its own control.

Put the subscription proposal beside the jobs you actually run

Thirty minutes with Sam. We look at the SYSPRO functions your team uses each week, the records you need to keep, and what your own workshop system would include. If the fit is right, Enterprise DNA moves it and runs it. If it is not, take the free version and test it on your own terms.
